@cgaona My Braxton hicks feel like Charlie horses in certain spots. I get very tight and you can feel how hard your tummy is. The L&D nurses said that mild contractions will feel softer like the tip of your nose, medium ones like your chin and intense ones like your forehead when you touch the tummy.
cramps and a tightening all over for some, mine was just in my back , but its different for every one, to me I guess the only way I can explain it was if something was squeezing my muscles
